Local and inter-city services, predominantly operated by Arriva Midland North, run from the station. However, buses operated by Lakeside Coaches, Tanat Valley, Celtic Travel and Minsterley Motors also run.[1]
The station is connected to the Pride Hill Shopping Centre and a Premier Inn hotel. It has a small shop with a connected café, toilet and baby changing facilities, a car park and a payphone. Is is also only a 3 minute walk away from Shrewsbury railway station.[2]
The station itself is fairly dated and maintains its 1960s/1970s architecture. There have been plans for the station to be modernised and rebuilt, or even demolished completely, as part of the town's "Big Town Plan". The demolition of the station would mean the town would not have a central bus terminus and would instead use smaller sites on the town's Park and Ride routes.[3][4]
